I want to flash stock rom and do a OTA update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys...
I had a rooted phone (with CF root) and I followed this guide: http://www.totallydubbed.net/2012/06/20/how-un-root-flash-stock-rom-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-gt-i9300/
Now I have a unrooted phone with stock firmware. I'd really like to do a OTA update on the phone, but for some reason, it tells me that there's no available updates.
I have build IMM76D.I9300XXALE8, which is from may, so there should be some updates in the cloud.
I have wiped and cleared from CWM and did a factory reset, but no update...
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Hjalte

A guess is that there is no update for YOUR phone if their is an update OTA tells you .
Use CHECKFUS to download any update and flash via Odin .

Well...
I've recieved at least 3 updates since may month... So I guess they would come again... And, here on the forum, there's also a I9300XXBLH1_I9300NEEBLH1_NEE firmware available, from juli 31.
Doesn't that mean that there's available updates OTA?

I had a different problem with updating through KIES, but all the same, Odin flashing is the best way to go.
Have you all got the latest version of Kies? I believe there was a sizeable update recently. I can't really advise more than that as I get updates from here and use Odin.

Ver.2.0.1.11053_99
Same problem, that I am facing. Latest kies as well. Seems like kies is the worst software ever designed in the history of mankind.
Any simpler way to update the phone. Does ODIN require root?

Yes Kies is 100% Worst ..If you use ODIN Once you cant use Kies (Official Firmware Updater) till you get back to Official Firmware again (The One you got with Mobile)
Any One Know How to Fix it?

If Product codes etc are matching \a firmware on Kies then you can update .

How do i get Kies to update.....

my phone? it wont update it at all.... it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"
I did update it ages ago with odin to XWKJ3
How can i get Kies to update it again?
Cheers
Then you use ODIN to update simple as that . You no longer have the correct codes for KIES server to match to an update .

i've got the same problem

Depends on what region your phone belongs to download and flash the latest ROM released for your region and you are good to go
You can get the boxed ROM and the latest through this website
http://fus.nanzen.se/
Use intratech's thread for flashing the stock boxed or latest ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
nope cant get it to update! its doing my head-in.... My phone is open on all networks and not locked so i have no clue what software to use!

First step you will have to take is to flash the LH1 firmware using Odin if you are not already on it..
Here is the link
Then, put the update file on you sdcard, use vol up+power+home to boot into stock recovery and then install from sdcard the update file which you had moved..
You are done, by the way always backup before you start flashing anything..

If you use just Odin..your warranty will not be void..also if you are on stock and not rooted you will get the OTA but then you must be on the ICS firmware to get the OTA..once you have flashed this update you will have JB and them you might not get the official update..
By the way you are on XDA - DEVELOPERS forum, have you realized it??

Well this is i think XDA Developers forum .
Possibly you mistake it for another forum ???
We don't do official updates that's not why the forum exists .
Hope you realize OTA updates arrive anytime after release not on the day of release . You may wait weeks .
Two choices One stick with Samsung and the updates .
Join XDA Developers forum and flash what you want when you want .
We will have official update one hour after release .

[Q] Q about i9300 update bought in another country

So I got the phone from uk - not tied to any carrier and I see uk got the jelly bean update but I have nothing.
Also a question: I rooted the phone but didnt install roms or anything, will that be a problem for updates or not? Also I am not from uk.

Root may block OTA use Kies .
No update ask Samsung .

To get OTA updates, you have to flash ur firmware to your designated region

OTA Update re-enable?

I've rooted my s3 some time ago and it's still running 4.1.2. update was coming out and there was no root available so i deleted fota.client.apk and fwupgrade to disable OTA notifications since Telus was pushing the update.
I want to upgrade to 4.2 now but files are no longer present. Would i simply go with factory reset and then push the update or there's another simpler way?
Thanks in advance.
4.2 is yet to release /
If you deleted the files from the phone factory reset and remove root for OTA .
Or use KIES when update is released .
Or XDA stock post when released .
jje
My bad, i'm running 4.0.4 on I747M and trying to get 4.1.2.
So if i restore to factory it won't restore the OTA updates?
